President Donald Trump’s lawyer, in concluding his opening arguments in the Senate impeachment trial, said that if the bar for impeachment is set too low, future presidents won’t be able to exercise executive power, while addressing allegations reportedly contained in former national security adviser John Bolton’s book.
“Danger, danger, danger,” Jay Sekulow, Trump’s personal attorney, said in front of the Senate. "I want to focus today, on my section, on what you’re being asked to do. You are being asked to remove a duly-elected president of the United States and you’re being asked to do it in an election year,” Sekulow said. “In an election year,” he asserted.
